@Droll: You're right, they recorded this only a couple of months after Bowie did and purposely rearranged it as drastically as they could.

Ah..so while '91 Bowie would *still* be more adventurous, it's not one of the Bowie albums I've heard of, so good move any way you look at it!

@Matt: I like a lot of David Bowie, but if push came to shove, "Lodger" is my favorite. An unconventional choice, but I seem to listen to it the most often.

Between 70s Bowie and "Let's Dance", it's a good transitional moment I bet.

Catching up on earlier comments--"Mr. Mike"! Never had the pleasure of seeing Mike O'Donoghue's dark comedy sketches, but that's something to search for now. I have my Dad's old National Lampoon mags, perhaps I've seen some of his features in that.

I can't force myself to be that choosy -- it'd have to be the whole Berlin Trilogy for me...
and the records with Mick, can't ignore them...

@Matt: Most of the early "SNL" episodes are on DVD now and he crops up a lot early on.

@Droll: Yeah, you're right. I couldn't be without "Low" or even "Hunky Dory" for that matter.

Droll:
Matt, don't even get me started on Nile Rodgers era Bowie! I adore Chic -- 100% pro band.
Like I said, I'm not able to choose.

Matt from Springfield:
Now Hunky Dory is a great one, I know that and love it!

Wiki also says his character's the origin of "MR. MIKE'S Mondo Video"--speaking of which, anyone here seen "National Lampoon's Going To The Movies"? :)

At one point I had found downloads for the Nation Lampoon Radio Hour which featured a lot of Michael O'Donoghue as well as early SNL cast members. Definitely lost some, but thought I came across some of my MP3s on an external hard drive pretty recently.

Great show as always!

You don't listen to the radio in front of the computer? Are you not human?

But I have to say the truly remarkable thing about this whole playlist for me is that it all sounds so FAMILIAR yet I've never heard any of it before (as far as I remember). Uncanny...! ( I hope it's not just the Herradura reposado talking...)

WOw! Such SOUL-ful GSH! RIP!

Ha, the Herradura Reposado is the best drink name in the history of the world.

Matt from Springfield:
I love reposado tequila! Herradura is a great brand.
It's like reposado, xandor...it sounds familiar, because it's been sitting, "reposed" for a while, till Joe brings it strong, vibrant new life! :)

@Julie: There was so much special material and releases from the mid 80s, they almost need to put out a super-deluxe version of the deluxe Hounds of Love album (which was great at collecting little bits, like "My Lagan Love" and the Meteorological Mix of "The Big Sky")

Well, all the younger ones seem to be reviving themselves at the taco carts just now, but me, I'm off to bed. Thanks for the great music, Professor McGasko, and thanks to you (Matt, et. al.) for putting up with my comments. Will tune in again soon! Viva Mexico!
